This Week’s Pick:

Iron and Wine is the stage name for musician Sam Beam, who often wrote, recorded and produced his music in his home studio. His debut The Creek Drank the Cradle features acoustic guitars, banjos and slide guitar; the whole often said to be along the lines of Nick Drake, Elliott Smith and Simon & Garfunkel. His cover of The Postal Service’s “Such Great Heights” was used in a commercial for M&Ms, as well as in the soundtrack for Garden State. Beam was previously a professor of Film & Cinematography.

Runner-Up:

Montreal’s own Miracle Fortress.
